Flutter Navigation showing route as /

I have a card with PopupMenuButton that I can tap to perform the 'copy' action. I can also perform the same action from the card details page. The problem I have is to get back to the home page I have to cater for both paths. So if the action is performed from the details page, I need to pop twice to go back to the home page.

Action from the home page:

Home > add card page

  • navigator.pop() takes me back to home page

Action from the details page:

home > card details page > add card page

  • Having to pop twice here.

I know I have to do the pop atleast once and then I used the popUntil to check the current state of the route. For some reason, it is always popping twice.

After debugging, its showing current route as /

  void _changeRoute(String newRouteName) {
    bool isNewRoute = false;

    // Pop once
    Navigator.pop(context); // after this I should be on home page for the first path

    Navigator.popUntil(context, (route) {
      print('Current route is ${route.settings.name}');

      if (route.settings.name == newRouteName) { // but this is showing current route as /
        isNewRoute = true;
      }
      return true;
    });

    print('is home page: $isNewRoute');

    if (!isNewRoute) {
      Navigator.pop(context);
    }
  }

I have this working.

My problem was that in my Main App, I had specified the home property on MaterialApp. According to the documentation, if the home property is specified, it takes the route /. So my home page is / and I had it defined as /home in my routes and this was being overridden by /.
